A: Lindey’s (169 E. Beck St.) is such a reliable neighborhood standby. Brunch, Saturday lunch,
Friday-night dinner — it always hits the mark. The atmosphere and the service make you feel like
you are part of a family. They have an amazing way of making you feel special every time you come
in.

Q: What do you order there?

A: The shrimp-and-angel-hair (pasta) is a decadent treat. I also love their lobster bisque, twin
fillets; and I love their crisp flax-seasoned flatbreads that come in the bread bowl. I invariably
end up eating at least two baskets of crisp breads and savoring every one of them.

Q: Where do you go for breakfast?

A: Northstar (Cafe) in the Short North (951 N. High St., also at 4241 N. High St. and at Easton
Town Center). Their breakfast burrito with sweet potatoes and black beans is so hearty and filling
and starts a weekend morning off wonderfully.

Q: Where might you go on a date night?

A: Hyde Park (Prime Steakhouse, 569 N. High St.). It reminds me of being tucked away in a deep,
dark restaurant in New York. The lush, deep-red curtains; the high-end atmosphere — it’s such a
great experience. And the steaks, and especially the sides, are delicious and fantastic. The
crab-and-bearnaise topping for a steak is incredibly rich and delicious.

Q: Where do you go for something fast and cheap?

A: Bibibop (Asian Grill, 1270 W. 5th Ave.). This is also a new discovery for me. It’s . . .
(near) Grandview (Heights) and is basically Korean-style barbecue served up fast, casual-style,
like Chipotle.

You can eat fast food and still feel a bit virtuous because you can load up on the veggies —
shredded carrot, cucumber, daikon, lettuce — and then throw on some teriyaki.
